2023 · Estate Chardonnay

Family-owned and operated since 1986, Talley Vineyards farms estate vineyards in Arroyo Grande and the Edna and Arroyo Grande Valleys of California’s San Luis Obispo Coast. The Talley family’s four-generation farming legacy informs its work across diverse soils and cool-climate sites, with SIP Certified sustainable vineyards and a focus on estate and single-vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Brian and Johnine Talley lead the winery, with Elizabeth Talley overseeing viticulture and winemaking and Eric Johnson serving as lead winemaker. The estate’s original Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were planted in Rosemary’s Vineyard in 1987–88. Talley is recognized for consistently excellent, cool-climate expressions of these varieties and has received Agriculturist of the Year recognition.
